The preliminary results here also show that globally coupled swarms with delayed communication cannot be
accurately modeled by an instantaneous model. Similar to work shown in
[1]}, delays cause new states to
emerge that are not observed in systems with instantaneous
communication. Moreover, it is also possible to create new when delay is included in
the coupling terms along with changes in network communication topology which
is not global, as shown in [2]}. In the case of a
given Morse potential here, simulations accurately modeling delay-coupled
swarms must take the delay into account to get accurate results.
